Because lag can't be eliminated. Is it that hard to understand?

Sheesh.

Lag cant be eliminated even if the server is in the same city as you. Do you even understand what I was asking?

They are taking the more important steps to fix what was causing the latency issue. 1: the servers themselves were garbage and 2: to much server-side response was required for player actions.

3: seperate servers, would only be to make segragationists aka closet racists feel better. Comments like "I dont have to read japanese chat on my screen" just shows what people are really thinking. Latency lol... thats the least of whats on their mind. And yea, Im just gonna throw that word out that. thats how I feel about it.

Haha that's the best, now we're racists. How many more posts until we reach Godwin's law?

If you "dont want to have to read other langauges on your screen" you probably have some kind of racist veiws you might not even know you have. which is why I used 'Closet Racist'. And is why I used that comment as an example of that term.

I want low latency. If that mean having no different language on my screen, so be it (will never be the case anyway, since I'm in EU). That's how things works, not the other way around.

As for other languages, I think I'm fine thanks, being fluent in EN and French and understanding German decently. Just stop assuming that players who doesn't want to see another languages on their screen are a majority.

However players who want a lower latency...

Then that didnt apply to you, as much.

People claiming servers will be dead at certain times: Have you ever played any other major MMO? There are people that play at all hours of the day. North america in particular spans several time zones, so there's only a few hours like between 6a-10a eastern where it would be particularly slow. I know on non work days I can often be up til 4am and then it's only 1am for ppl on the west coast, even earlier if you happen to be in Alaska or Hawaii.

I am sorry that is just stupid logic. It is not racist, just because it is easier and quicker to communicate without having to take the time to translate what someone said or what you must say to someone else. I am learning Japanese at my University in Japan, so I can communicate in it and possibly get a job here. Guess what though, when I play a game I want to take it easy and not think overly hard on getting languages right so I will play with people that speak my language because it takes less brain power. So by your logic that makes me a "closet racist"? gtfo with that logic, my girlfriend is Japanese and I love learning and trying to talk Japanese with her. But because I want to speak english in game and only deal with it makes me a "closet racist" I am offended.

Youre standing around in town, not doing anything, someone shouts but its in a language you do not know. How does this affect what you do in your same-language parties? I didn't say anything about playing with other language groups, I said see it on your screen, thats period. Just seeing it upsets some people, those are the closet racists I referre to. One was actually open about being upset by it.

But in any case. Some people wanted this option, they can now have their separation. They dont need to worry about seing another language shouted in town anymore if they dont want to, and enjoy their totally lagless environments.

Not me.

I had a lot of fun getting JP's to craft certain equipment for me because they were the only one's available to do so early on in 1.0.

So it was all about shouting in Japanese to get their attention, looking up the Japanese names of the items and terms to copy paste them on tells, together with using the translate feature. Hardly ideal, but it was a blast.

And that's just an example, and it's okay of I lose that in exchange for a legitimate improvement to the game environment. Just because you want separate servers doesn't mean you're a racist.
